Overview
Experience the diverse landscapes and cultural heritage of Assam on this 5-day journey through Kaziranga National Park and Majuli Island. Starting from Guwahati, the tour takes you into the wilderness of Kaziranga, where you can experience both elephant and jeep safaris and explore the park’s rich wildlife. The region is particularly known for sightings of the one-horned rhinoceros, while the safari experience takes you through the natural landscapes of the national park. From Kaziranga, continue towards Nimati Ghat and cross the mighty Brahmaputra by ferry to reach Majuli, one of Assam’s most distinctive island destinations.
